with reference to WARNING:
Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/usb/gadget:804
There is a function usb_string in the file message.c,
there is also a struct usb_string in the kernel api headers.
The docs is unable to index the function as the index is occupied by struct
This fix adds messgae.c to the usb_core namespace (in docs) hence providing
usb_sting a unique index usb_core.usb_string()
